Since
2006, I have been a member in good standing
with GCA as well as a volunteer mentor for
the Natural and Green Cleaning section of
the Forum.
This Association is a must for any business
in the cleaning industry, whether you are
residential or commercial, you are just
starting out or have been successful for
many years you will find a wealth of
information at your fingertips and if you
are not able to find what you are looking
for there are a number of experienced
businesses owners willing to give of their
time to help you in any way possible.
While doing my part on GCA, I had the
opportunity to test Natural cleaning
products. Below are my favourites and what
are used in my cleaning business on a daily
basis. |

Eco Mist Solutions
The ingredients are natural and
simple....corn, tree sap, processed
coconut extract, sugarcane, and de-ionized
water. The manufacturing
process a little more
complicated......Nanotechnology (the
engineering of
functional systems at the molecular scale)
with Colloidal Formulation
(a type of mixture that appears to be a
solution but it is actually a
mechanical mixture). The end result....A
cleaning product which is
equal to or surpasses any cleaners on the
market today with the added
bonus of no harmful chemicals or noxious
scents. No longer will you
need to wear gloves, masks or safety
glasses. They are also are non-toxic
and non-allergenic and do not harm the user
or the planet.
At Eco-Maids, we use these
products for our first time cleans. The
Colloid A is a Great product for breaking
through heavy soap scum and
grease build-up and an amazing cleaning tool
for tile grout that has seen
better days. The Colloid G, for getting
through the film left by the toxic
Window and Glass cleaners.
